yep,, this forum can sometimes be confusing... sorry for giving you "bad" advice. It's the same advice that MH gives regarding his own oregano oil that he sells. But it is the reason why I stipulated that you'd want to make sure that your oil was the "good" stuff. And I totally agree about your "disclaimer" theory. Everything we take says it's not approved - don't do this and don't do that - but we do it anyway because we've learned that the seller or company is just protecting their own interests. How are we supposed to know when the disclaimer is actually legitimate? Anyways,,,,sorry for your experience here today. I too wish everyone could just be cool.
